ABSTRACT:
A compact personal misting device with no motors or batteries. The device includes a liquid container and a spray pump assembly with a fluid inlet tube that extends into the container. The pump assembly includes an atomizer nozzle operable to output mist using the liquid. The misting device also includes a folding fan pivotally mounted on the container that is selectively positioned in a storage position in which a flexible fan blade is retracted upon itself and also in a cooling position with the fan blade unfolded to extend outward from the container. The fan blade is formed of a flexible material that in the cooling position is substantially planar, e.g., a semi-circular shape. The atomizer nozzle outputs the mist in a target direction that is transverse to the plane containing the unfolded fan blade with the nozzle targeted about 90 degrees from the fan blade in some cases.
